Talking Progress pics of body work to my Z

Okay, it is coming along quite nicely. The front bumper cover has been shaved, and all the door dents and dings have been knocked out and smoothed. the rear bumper cover is only held on by a few bolts right now, hence the gap. Othe small changes are removed body side moldings (staying removed), and removed badges (coming up with something a little different). The body work still has some block sanding work left to be done, but you get the point. It may go in for spraying in the booth on friday.

Yep, but like I said, it still needs to be block sanded and such.

Nothing - it's an aftermarket bumper, and they don't have the "CAMARO" text in them. I just had the grille mounting holes shaved because they are uglier than butt.

I think that he used a urethane patching compound - basically hard plastic/rubber just like the material the fenders and front bumper cover are made of. It's not just some bondo slapped into the holes. This will last forever.

I've seen the front done in every way possible in person - billet grille, intercooler mounted, pulled grille, SLP grille insert, and shaved. Shaved absolutely looks the best, in my opinion.
